That's a photo of a Z06, not a Stingray. That Z06 grille is the same as the 2015 Z06 grille and the wheels are very little changed from the 2015 Z06's wheels, so the stripe is all I see that's different from a 2015 Z06.
Hard to get excited over a stripe down the hood that any vinyl shop can cut and apply to any make of car.

That picture is certainly on the C7 Convertible 2016 Website.

You know you can get the blacked out grill on the 2016 C7 if you order the CF package, right?

Now that the cat is out of the bag with all the 2016 changes, I don't see why they didn't explicitly state CarPlay/Android Auto. It's a pretty significance difference in terms of how navigation and media would be handled. With production only 2 months away, I find it hard to believe that they are still testing it to the point they couldn't announce it.

2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Special Addition: Z06 With a Side of RICE
The 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Special Edition is downright insulting to Corvette fans, and it's insulting to the spirit of American ingenuity.

Newer is always better at least from the C4 through the C7 Corvettes. If I was buying now I would want a 2016 but since I already bought my 2014 Z51 3LT vert I am very happy with what I have and am not in a hurry to upgrade until their is a MAJOR CHANGE IN THE C7 MODEL IN APPEARANCE OR ENGINE HORESEPOWER.

Ok, I am confused- what do the actual base model (non-Z51, non-Z06) rims look like? Thought this was what they looked like, but it's really a Z06: http://bit.ly/1HyDB4y
